strange UTF-8 byte encoding issue with Rails, IE, PostgreSQL, delayed_job
I'm seeing a relatively strange (and hard to diagnose) error with a combination of IE8, Rails 3.0.3, PostgreSQL and delayed_job.
I have a text area on one of my pages, and in the controller I delay a message with delayed_job which includes an object which has the content from the text area:
SomeMailer.delay.send_message(message)
This works fine on Chrome, FF, Safari. However in IE8 only, and only when I actually enter text in the text area, and it looks like only when I enter a carriage return in the text area (I thi开发者_如何学JAVAnk), I get this error from the controller:
invalid byte sequence in UTF-8
This appears to me to be when delayed_job is serializing the job to the database via ActiveRecord, that it doesn't like the character encoding in the newline (\r\n). It's a bit hard to figure out because I don't know if this is an IE, Rails, delayed_job or Postgres issue.
Side Note: I'm getting this error locally, but it doesn't appear that this error appears on Heroku - so maybe they have their database configured better than I do?
Environment:
- Rails 3.0.3
- Ruby 1.9.2
- Postgres 8.4 - encoding UTF8, collation en_US.UTF-8
- delayed_job 2.1.4
- IE 8
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Are you setting your encoding in the HTML that is being sent to IE8? e.g.:
<!doctype html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
</head>
It's possible that the other browsers are working around the missing information and assuming UTF-8 when encoding the data from your text area.
